it's a dump and much worse since the idiots at the pot store took over... far from a real poolroom and sinking... anywhere else is better... family in sf or california billiards in fremont are well worth the drive... $15. an hour for lame tables? forget it...

I hadn't been to this place in years and I am so glad we came for a Birthday party today. When I tell you how delicious the food is you'll come too!! The Mediterranean food is amazing and high quality and flavorful feta to the grilled lamb. So fun and sooo good! Plus we received amazing services from Chic who was warm and helpful. We are coming back!!

The tables are nice and the prices are reasonable and the food is pretty good but there aren't enough cue sticks to support a full house. Many cues are broken and the rest in bad shape. All of the balls are all dinged up.A lot of casual players wouldn't care I suppose but to me the lack of maintenance and care says that given enough time they will eventually let the actual pool tables fall apart. Which will be a shame cause they are 1 of few pool spots in the area (and they have a couple tournament quality tables I'd hate to see ruined).

Nice, I went for my brother's Birthday Celebration. Reserved tables and seating. Wings were fire, if you goit them plain and sauce on the side.

Decided to check this spot out for the first time last night. Walked to the bar and wasn't acknowledged for 15 minutes. Wasn't even busy, but I remained patient. The manager or owner finally came up to me and offered me a menu. Said he would come back in a few minutes. Ended up being another 15 minutes. I got his attention, he said sorry, I will get to you, I'm swamped. I decided to leave after that. Wasted 30 minutes of my time. No sorry or anything. Maybe it was a good thing, cocktails were $20 and the food looked mediocre. Won't be coming back

THEY DISCRIMINATE AGAINST DISABELED PEOPLE. If you're disabeled don't come here. People who discriminate against disabled people shouldn't run a business.

Played in the tournament at cafe rack tonight, and it was awesome. Great bartenders, great players, and a wholesome vibe all around. Buy in is 25$ and well worth it for a double elimination tournament with a several hundred dollar payout. Highly recommend!

I took my wife to this bar to shoot pool but it wasn't a great experience. Equipment is not taken care off pool balls were chipped and staff were not paying attention to customers. I had ordered some food and I needed some forks so I walked to the bar and waited patiently but I felt being ignored. It wasn't even prime time.

They always make you feel like you're welcome and a pary of rhe family. Lovely pool tables, newly referred and solid food.

Great place to grab a drink and a bite to eat after a busy day. The bartenders were very friendly and the atmosphere felt safe.

Used to be The Broken Rack with twice the number of tables and twice the size location till they gave up space to weed company next door and gave up lots of the available pool tables. I used to play pool there nearly every weekend for a couple hours with a friend for a couple years at their location at the food court and then the new location till they cut hours after the pandemic and never went back to normal hours. No sense waiting till 2:30 to play pool when you are looking for lunch and pool. Now we have to go all the way to Walnut Creek at Masses for lunch and pool. ?
